This week I heard about the social media trend of young girls obsessing over thigh gaps. This is an outrage. From 1 woman to the next, there is no such thing as a perfect thigh gap. A very thin young lady cannot have a thigh gap.

I urge young girls to not watch Youtube videos on how to do a thigh gap. It is really not that serious. You cannot really make an ideal thigh gap with physical exercise. Many young girls have eating disorders because they want to fit this perfect image that is not even possible to do. You can put yourself at risk of an eating disorder to do a thigh gap.

I don’t have much of a thigh gap. It is just part of becoming a woman. Trust me, guys do not mind. Whether your inner thighs touch all depends on your bone structure. You cannot change your bones. You cannot change the shape of your pelvic girdle. You cannot change your hip bones. Embrace the beauty of your figure, flaws and all.

The only thing you can manage is your body weight and you have to manage weight safely to keep up good health . The average woman’s thighs touch between the crotch and the knees.

If you see a young lady with thighs separated, there’s a sign that she is severely underweight. This could put her health in danger. In fact, the thigh gap obsession is a dangerous quest no matter a woman’s age, ethnicity or body type.

I have been a young teenage girl. I can confidently tell you better days will come beyond you teenage years. Don’t be peer pressured to think you have to fit a certain body type or be a certain way. This too shall pass.

It is time to embrace your outer and inner beauty than looking at what you think is missing. Having a thigh gap will not improve your life or make you any happier. You learn more about the dangers of the thigh gap obsession by reading  Social Media Feeding Girls’ Dangerous Thigh Gap Obsession.
